RE: [LegacyUG] Uploading to the Internet
Rich, There are several ways of doing this with costs going from nothing upwards. Some ISP's charges are inclusive of some web space ( see my tiscali site) and others one pays for (my fergys.co site). The former usually has a limit on the space eg. tiscali is 50MB for the main email address + 10MB each for the next 9 addresses. In general they only allow html/javascript and not php/sql and other ways of working/coding. The paid for site allows much more space (I have 1 GB) and am free to use many types of site construction. With both I need to use an FTP Client to get the site onto the servers. I currently use ftp Commander which is available, free of charge, from http://internet-soft.com/ftpcomm.htm . The free version works well but others are available with different facilities just Google for "Free FTP Clients" (no quotes). Other ways of getting your site up include using one of the free sites available such as Geocities at http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn2/HowItWorks4_Free.html . The free version allows drag and drop to get the pages onto the site - can be a bit time consuming! Some sites tend to specialise in genealogy such as Tribal Pages but there are others such as Site Builder, again Google is your friend, try "Free Website Hosting" (no quotes). Finally for Legacy users there is a specific self-help group concerning websites at http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/WUL/ .

When using source writer, Artifact is one of the choices that you may use to source an actual artifact or privately held document.

RE: [LegacyUG] Mapping addresses
Mary, I do not really have a way of checking this so please could you advise. I do not have a comma between the house number/name and the street ie. they are in the same field, and I wondered if separating the two makes any difference when it somes to using VE mapping. At present it takes me to the road (if known) but would it still look for the road or the house name/number if it was in the first field? BTW I haven't separated only because that is the way I started doing it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Chuck, I don't use the research notes, but wanted to look at a few things as I thought the notes were handy, but not if I can't easily retrieve what I entered. I looked at the Sample file as Geoff has quite a few. If you want to go that 'looking up each individual' route, you can see the research notes from the Name List as Notes is one of the 6 information tabs to the right of the name list. I chose the notes tab, then selected research. I scrolled through the name list in the small sample file fairly smoothly as even though I scrolled through the names, the right side of the screen remained in Research Notes, allowing me to use just my arrow down key. By the way, if an individual has research notes, that tab has an asterisk on the tab. What about a search? I 'm not clever enough to get exactly what you want, but you can search by whom, Individual; where, Notes, research; contains; the (or some other word you know is in your notes). >From this list, I played a bit with Individual report and found you can 'deselect' many items, but include research notes if you need a printed report. Knowing I can search the Research Notes for keywords tells me I'm onboard for using them. My favorite though, because you won't miss any, is to add a Research Notes column to your Index View. Choose Options, select customize. If you save your current column choices, you can customize another index view that shows whatever you wish, including RIN, Name, Research Notes. If you name it & save that customized column preferences, you can load it anytime, getting a list of all in you file and if they have research notes. I played with this in the Index View. If your columns are narrow enough in other areas, and wide enough for research notes, AND your research notes are short, you can read all in this Index View. I thought it a bit combersome though and preferred to double click on the individual, bringing up the Individual Information screen & go to research notes from there. I never used the Index View until it was suggested on this LUG. You can save and load quite a few customized views. really comes in handy. These ideas might not be exactly what you wanted, but the Index View gives you the ability to see all individuals with research notes. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't throw a tagging feature in somewhere too. This is way too wordy, but one of those things that is easy to see, hard to explain. Regards, Jane Tripp Original Message - From: Chuck Arbogast To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2008 9:34 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes Elizabeth, What you suggest is great for an individual person. I wanted a report that could list all of the research notes for everyone. It appears that there is no way of doing that. I may be wrong though. The reason I wanted to be able to print them all is to see all of the people that have research notes, so I can open there notes and determine what to be done. If I don't have that report and I have all of my things that I need to research in the research notes page for each individual, I would need to browse everyone to see their notes. If they have notes, I then would need to open them and see if they had research notes. They may have general or medical notes but not research notes and then I would have checked their notes for no reason. Doing it that way would take a lot of time and checking just to find a person that needed research done on them. So, I guess that I will have to change all of my research notes to the To-Do list so I can have a overall printout off everything that I need to research. What's nice about the printout of the To-Do list is that I can printout the To-Do list in many different ways. It appears that this is the way for me to go but everyone has their method of doing things and that is fine by me. I was just wondering what the majority was doing with these two different places to record research information. Thanks for your input though. It is appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Elizabeth, Thanks for the tip. That however only give me the research notes that are blank. However, I didn't think about using the search feature to do what I wanted and since you pointed me to the search feature I stumbled on how to do what I want with the research notes. If you go to Detailed Search and fill it out like: Look for whom?: Individual Where to look: Notes-Research How to look: Not Equal to What to look for: (Leave this field blank) Doing this search with show all individuals that have items in the research notes. You can then print the search results. You would have to make sure that research notes is added to the List report options but it would then print out everyone that had research notes. I think that I may do mine this way now since you helped me find a way to do this because I think it is easier to add the item I need research for in the research notes instead of the To-Do list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
I use the To Do list for my research items, requests, etc. In the general notes I put things like obituaries, newspaper articles, Research on localites that I have needed to clarify locations, etc. In the research notes I put things that I come across in the actualy research like differences in spelling (as well as putting in the aka), thoughts on research, etc. I know some people that use the research notes to put their research log into it, list the sources that they have searched and the results, etc. I hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Chuck, you can do a search for research notes not blank and tag them. Do you have v7? It has a search option for missing notes and you could search and tag those whose research notes are missing. Either way, you have a group that does have research notes. That, at least, pares down your possibilities. Once you have your list, you can print a report. That report can include your research notes of everyone on the list, by customizing the fields to include. And thanks for asking this! I may not be interested in printing all people in my file with research notes, but I may very well be able to make use of this printing a list of tagged individuals and customizing the fields to include.

I wanted a report that could list all of the research notes for everyone. It appears that there is no way of doing that. I may be wrong though. The reason I wanted to be able to print them all is to see all of the people that have research notes, so I can open there notes and determine what to be done. If I don't have that report and I have all of my things that I need to research in the research notes page for each individual, I would need to browse everyone to see their notes. If they have notes, I then would need to open them and see if they had research notes. They may have general or medical notes but not research notes and then I would have checked their notes for no reason. Doing it that way would take a lot of time and checking just to find a person that needed research done on them. So, I guess that I will have to change all of my research notes to the To-Do list so I can have a overall printout off everything that I need to research. What's nice about the printout of the To-Do list is that I can printout the To-Do list in many different ways.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Mary, Thanks for your info. That is a interesting way to save copies of records. I do that with my source citations. If I need to put in any notes or media for that source or record, I would do it in the source citation. I guess my way of thinking is that research notes or the To-Do list would be a place to put down any items that in need to research. I was going to use the research notes, but since I can't print a list of all the research notes, I think I need to change over to the To-Do lists so I can print all the items that I need to research.

I first thought the best place to put it was in the research notes section, but since I can't call a report up to see all the research notes, it would be hard to use that and determine what I need to work on.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Chuck, I use the research notes to save copies of records I come across that help me see very quickly what I've found in the way of records and what is missing. I don't print them in my reports. They're helpful to copy and paste into an email when working with someone to resolve a question. They're always right there and easy to refer to. I also like to attach the actual images of reports or census sheets, death certificates, draft registration cards, etc. to the events of people. Once attached to the event for a person, all I have to do is click on the icon and up pops the record, so I can double check something, or refresh my memory. (I've changed this message to plain text so I don't know how much formatting will come through but in the research notes, bolding, underlining, italized text are all used to highlight certain areas to draw my eye when I check the research notes ... example below from one person's research notes: Military Records World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Wyoming Lincoln County Draft Card S see image attached to event Citation: Registration Location: Lincoln County, Wyoming; Roll: 2022241; Draft Board: 0.

Hi Chuck Don't worry about re-asking questions (although checking the archives of this list is always a good idea). >From the help file: "Keep track of your research notes concerning an individual or his/her family.

The do to list is a much more structured way of organising your research tasks, the specific fields allow you to run a report for a specific locality, repository, individual or group.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Gedstar Pro
3.2 and Legacy 7 -- problems with conversion
Any Gedstar Pro users who have upgraded to Legacy 7?
To complicate matters I also changed computers and the new one is running
Vista.
Legacy 7 is running fine so far on Vista. I moved my
Palm Pilot application over to the new machine and have updated my Legacy
file
a lot lately so decided to put Gedstar Pro on. I’d bought Gedstar 3.1
and had used that successfully with Legacy 6 on Windows XP. When I went
to download the software I found that version 3.2 is available so downloaded
that. It installed ok – on computer and Palm Pilot. I exported my
data file to a gedcom file and proceeded to convert the file to Gedstar Pro
format. I got an error message:
Line found in Gedcom without a level #
File TCGedparse.cpp line 183.
I’ve messaged the software vendor but haven’t had a
response. I don’t know if the problem is with my data file, the Gedstar
software or if it is some Vista incompatibility. I can say that I seem
to have been able to export the same gedcom file to my old computer – still
running Legacy 6. I really miss not having my data file on my Palm
Pilot – and it has just been 24 hrs. Suggestions
appreciated.

[LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Hello, I hope this hasn't been covered before. I'm wondering what the difference in the research notes for each individual and the the To-Do list for an individual. I have been putting things that I needed to research for an individual in the research notes and not the To-Do list. At first I didn't think that it was a big deal because I thought that I would be able to run a report on all peoples research notes, but I can't find out how if you can. So, I'm thinking that using the To-Do list would have been better since I can view and print those easily. How is everyone keeping track of the items you need to research? The research notes or the To-Do list? Also, if research notes is not the correct place for future research items, then what is the research notes for?

With Chick as the starting person, Legacy shows his aunt's husband as "husband of aunt". Therefore, (with his aunt's husband as the starting person) Chick should be "nephew of wife".

Re: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
I think you are correct, Mary. The place field = location list and if you want to distinguish between specific places in a city (or county, for that matter, when you don't have a city involved) by putting a pin in each of them, then you have to have a way to distinguish between them in the location list. There are probably better ways to accomplish this, but I've been putting locations in like "Seagraves - Cemetery, Gaines County, Texas" and "Seagraves - Walter Perry homestead, Gaines County, Texas". It requires a little work to manipulate the pins to the exact places I want them to be, but so far, it's been worth it to me to do it. It's actually sort of fun to be able tweak the map pins. I've also found some things I didn't know existed until I had to fool around with researching things that VE couldn't automatically find. I had no idea there was a Calfee Road in Montgomery County where my Calfee kin lived & died until I had to search out where the cemetery pin needed to go. (I'll be darned!

Re: [LegacyUG] Uploading to the Internet
Who's hosting your website, Rich? Do you own a domain name & rent space from a reseller or directly from a hosting company (e.g. 1and1.com, surpasshosting.com, etc)? Or are you planning on using space from your ISP? It depends on who provides the space as to what alternatives are available to you for upload. Many (of either type above) have direct upload capability from within the admin area of your rental space. Most will also accept uploads from an ftp client program or through links in a program such as Dreamweaver. Some may have limitations of size and/or file extensions. Like I said - it "depends" - check with your space provider for details of both upload capabilities and limitations.

Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring backups from v4, v5, v6 now using v7
That is a question that can only be answered by the programmers, or someone that has done it. I'd suggest that you get a v4 backup, and try opening it (in a new database) in v7 and see what happens. Either way you will have your answer. As a programmer (by trade - not of Legacy), I can say that it basically depends on if they have left in the database conversion code for all the versions, in case someone upgrades from a really old version. If it doesn't work - then contact them, they may have a utility they can use to update it for you.

[LegacyUG] V7 Repository Notes question/bug?
I've just discovered a curious thing. When you select an existing repository for a new source created using the SourceWriter, the Notes window appears to be an active window, with a blinking cursor. There is even a greyed out scroll bar. However, you cannot add notes here. You must click on the Edit button, then choose the Notes tab to create a note. The note then appears in this window, once you've saved it. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't mind the note window being there, but I would think it should appear as "uneditable." I know this is a "ticky" little thing and it's really not a big deal. Just wondering if anybody else gets the same thing. -- Dede Holden Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

[LegacyUG] Restoring backups from v4, v5, v6 now using v7
Hi Listers I didn't always keep the scraps of paper I wrote down information from conversations with family members, I have changed my ways now. So without printouts or other more accessible electronic versions of my file that list my sources, I thought of restoring some of the backups I've kept. I've been entering data and backing up since v4, I didn't always upgrade my backups to the next version or create periodic gedcoms as I upgraded through the latest versions. Had I created gedcoms I could now just view them through GENViewer or GenMatcher, reports with sources would have helped me out now too, but back then I didn't do what I do now. I want to now get to the older backups and check some of my sourcing and information. Will I have to load v5 and restore v4 backups into it? Then load v6 and restore v5 backups into it? I've always kept a copy of the full download (not upgrade) of each version as it becomes available, so I could load them again. I'd just like to know if I will need to?

RE: [LegacyUG] Mapping addresses
Bruce, Given that VE is not part of Legacy I think that Legacy records the co-ordinates of where the pin is placed, as it would should one set the latitude/longitude. Each time the Location List is entered, Legacy automatically looks for these co-ordinates and VE sets the pin, if there are no co-ordinates then it uses the location field to search.
